Jordan's participation in this summit confirms the efforts it is making to achieve the goals of social development included in the national strategy for social protection, in addition to its efforts on a global scale in this context, the latest of which was organizing the third Global Summit on Disability in partnership with the Federal Republic of Germany last April, which culminated in the Amman-Berlin declaration on the global inclusion of the rights of persons with disabilities.
